Principal of St. Xaviers School, Janhavi Rai, said, “All through the year we ensure an all-round development of students. We do this by identifying the students’ weaknesses and strengths and then work on them.”
Academicians believe that with a little extra effort and an encouraging and supportive school and family environment, students will be able to fare better.
“Schooling is about providing students with support, freedom and opportunities to excel not only in academics, but also in extra-curricular activities. We will also plan a worksheet solving model that will help them with their exam preparations,” said Rupa Dey, principal of Shreerang Vidyalaya.
